Credit Agricole Bank remains the highest FITCH-rated bank in Ukraine third year in a row

23 June 2016

Credit Agricole Bank remains the highest FITCH-rated bank in Ukraine after 16 June 2016 year FITCH rating actions on Ukrainian banks.

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Credit Agricole Bank’s 'CCC' Long-term foreign-currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs), Long-term local-currency IDRs at 'B-' outlook revised to Stable from Negative, Viability Rating at 'b-'.

The affirmation of 'CCC' Long-term foreign-currency IDRs reflects the constraint of Ukraine's Country Ceiling (CCC).

Regarding viability rating of Credit Agricole Bank, it is the highest among the Ukrainian banks which were rated by Fitch. The key drivers of the viability rating are CAB’s high provisioning rate and its ability of generation of revenues to cover risks.

“CAB's 'b-' Viability Rating factors in more moderate asset quality deterioration than at most Ukrainian banks driven by a focus on multinational and agricultural companies. Loss absorption capacity is underpinned by a solid pre-impairment profitability”,- mentions Fitch in its official press release.

Long-Term Foreign Currency IDR: affirmed at 'CCC'
Long-Term Local Currency IDR: affirmed at 'B-', Outlook revised to Stable from Negative
